Hi there, I have been wondering about the Avalanche skill with Tectonic Rift rune. Does the damage stack if I use all 3 charges on the same area or does it not stack like Earthquake?? If it doesn't stack, is that the reason why the Lahar rune is preferable for Avalanche.
It stacks, and so do earthquakes, as far as I know. That's why Lut Socks + the Earth set are so good together.
I haven't tried the Earth set, but I know for a fact that Tectonic Rift Avalanches stack.
Lahar is more sustained damage than Tectonic Rift, because it makes the skill recharge faster. Tectonic Rift is the same damage as basic, un-runed Avalanche. It just gives you the option to drop 3 Avalanches at one time for much higher burst damage. It still takes 30 seconds (minus fury spent) to get an Avalanche back, just like normal, though.
Edit: of course, you can time Tectonic Rift with Wrath of the Berserker or other buffs (Slam Dance, Wolf Companion, etc.) to really get a lot of damage out of that rune.

Thanks for your swift reply. Atleast now I'm certain I'm not playing it wrongly.
